Question

_{Tuesday, August 25, 2015 3:10 PM}

Hope someone can help solve these Event Log errors.

Vainly tried to find the tasks myself. The way I see it, tasks are being started but then failed.
Would really welcome suggestions where to look in order to solve these errors.

Windows 10 x64 Pro.

Many thanks!

Hi,

These event states some scheduler task failure event, they are cachetask, Windows hotstart, MsctfMonitor and system sound service to verify that the execution of a task has completed as expected:

1. Click the Start button and type Task Scheduler in the Start Search box.

2. Select the Task Scheduler program to start Task Scheduler.

3. Select the task to run by locating the task in the task folder hierarchy.

4. On the Actions menu click Run. You can also click Run in the Actions pane.

5. Click the History tab for the task to verify that it contains events indicating the task was registered successfully. Also, ensure that the task completed successfully or that the task timed out as expected.

Windows hot start enables you to turn on your computer and run an application at the press of a button.

MsCtfMonitor - This scheduled task runs when you log on to a user account. This scheduled task monitors the TextServicesFramework system service.

SystemSoundsService - This scheduled task runs at log on. It provides operating system-initiated sounds such as navigation sounds.

Boot to clean boot mode see if these events still persists. You could chose to stop these tasks then reboot, so these event won’t show again.

Many thanks for the above. I have taken the very first instance (MobilePC) and went on as you suggested. It got me below error. Maybe I'd better 'End' or 'Disable' this task?? However, I am a bit unsure on this and seek your recommendation. Note: I am using a standalone Windows 10 x64 PC and (FWIW - likely it does not have anything to do with it) an Adroid tablet.

Also shall I end/disable the other tasks as well?

Thanks again.

Hi,

Yes you can try disabling that, I did test on a test machine and these tasks didn't affect usage of the machine. But since it is only a test machine (virtual machine without graphic card or other devices). I am supposing you need to do that by yourself to find out.
